Same. The trough is at least flat.

Stitchers go through ridge

are you meant to fix through the troughs?

Logic suggests ridges would be better, however when you look at the seal Neoprene Tek screws achieve, it's a moot point. You can deform ridges if you're over enthusiastic with the impact driver.

Fixing through the troughs is the accepted way forward on box profile.

As Peter says, decent screws are important.

And I’ve been there on the ridges thing!

Always fix to the purlins through the troughs on box profile as it’s the only way to secure the sheets securely - the sheets can flex and lift slightly in the wind if fixed through the ridges.

Did you ever get involved with moving the mobile milking parlour from Mayford water meadows to the Egley road? Fun fun fun.

No I remember it being in the fields at Egley road but then it was attached to the dairy at the farm where I helped Gerald. I also remember bring the herd with William up to the farm for calving.

 

Iain leading William by the nose up the A320 and me at the back with a short length of hose to gee stragglers up. I doubt drivers would put up with it now but then it couldn't happen as the fields are a school and the farm a redundant golf course.
